Bacterial growth efficiency in the tropical estuarine and coastal waters of Goa, southwest coast of India
(Springer, 2003)
Bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) is an index of organic carbon passing through bacteria in an aquatic system. BGE values of natural bacterioplankton assemblages were measured in tropical estuarine and adjacent coastal ...
Marine microbiology: A glimpse of the strides in the Indian and the global arena
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
The chapter reviews the development in marine microbiology in the national and international arena. It traces salient features from the pre-Zobell era to the mid 1990s. The studies in India have just made a beginning into ...
Detection of luciferase gene sequences in nonluminescent bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay
(FEMS, 2000)
A 745-bp luxA fragment was amplified from Vibrio harveyi (UM 1503), radiolabeled, and used as a probe to detect and quantify luxA genotypes in culturable bacterial populations from the Chesapeake Bay. DNA samples from 53 ...
'Trade-off' in Antarctic bacteria: limnetic psychrotrophs concede multiple enzyme expressions for multiple metal resistance
(Springer, 2007)
The present study examines the metal and antibiotic resistant bacteria in ice and water from lakes east and west of the Indian base camp (Maitri) in Antarctica. The isolates from western and eastern lakes showed distinct ...
Mercury and lead tolerance in hypersaline sulfate-reducing bacteria
(Pergamon, 2002)
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) HSR 1, HSR 4, and HSR 14 isolated from the salt pans of Goa, India grew best at 90-100 ppt salinity on substrates like formate, acetate, lactate, butyrate, ethanol and benzoate. They were ...
Use of a chiA probe for detection of chitinase genes in bacteria from the Chesapeake Bay
(FEMS, 2000)
PCR primers specific for the chiA gene were designed by alignment and selection of highly conserved regions of chiA sequences from Serratia marcescens, Alteromonas sp., Bacillus circulans and Aeromonas caviae. These primers ...
Unusual rise in mercury-resistant bacteria in coastal environs
(Springer, 2003)
A sharp rise in mercury-resistant bacteria (MRB) capable of tolerating very high concentration of Hg was observed over the last 3-4 years in the coastal environs of India. While none or negligible colony-forming units (CFU) ...
